The postgraduate certificate in Refractive Surgery with Phakic Lenses offers ophthalmic professionals a unique opportunity to acquire high quality skills and knowledge in an area in constant evolution and demand in the sector"

Refractive Surgery is an area specialized in the correction of refractive errors of the eye, such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Among the different existing surgical techniques, phakic lenses are an attractive option for those patients who are not candidates for other interventions or who have special visual requirements. Therefore, it is essential for ophthalmology professionals, who are constantly updating their skills, to have solid training and knowledge in this field.

The postgraduate certificate in Refractive Surgery with Phakic Lenses proposed by TECH, deals in an exhaustive way with the study of Phakic Lenses, from their conception and historical evolution to the latest innovations. This is based on a comprehensive syllabus, which includes the anatomy of the eye and the biometric data necessary for the correct selection of phakic lenses, as well as ocular optics and phakic lenses, spherical and astigmatism correction, indications and contraindications, and the implantation technique and its possible complications.

The pedagogical methodology of Relearning, characteristic of TECH, focuses on the active and personalized learning of the student, through quality, dynamic and interactive study materials. In addition, the program is 100% online, which allows students to organize their time and academic resources in a flexible way, without having to sacrifice their work and personal life rhythm at any time.
